I have an underbite that caused a large painful canker on the tip of my tongue for YEARS until I used a combination of a soft mouth guard and these magical things for about 2 weeks.

Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

Look for a toothpaste with fluoride, but without sodium lauryl sulfate. Sls is soap and is a foaming agent, but doesn’t do much for cleaning. However, it can cause irritation and also blocks som taste receptors. Sls is the reason coffee tastes awful if you drink it too soon after brushing your teeth.

SLS is fine for me, the problem is what type of fluoride is used. sodium fluoride is fine, stannous fluoride fucks me up

bp measuring devices will never be accurate until they invent one that takes stealth checks without you knowing you're having your BP checked.

there should be a 25 point handicap built in when you know your BP is being taken. oh god what are the numbers going to be aaaa

this is why you have to do it every day, eventually you calm the gently caress down and start getting somewhat accurate readings

my bp at home is always better than at the doctor and i bet this is part of the reason

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

when i got hit by that car on my first bike, the EMTs were wonderful, patient and just chilled out on the curb for 45 minutes while they fed me ice water and kept taking my pulse until it dropped to 'we can legally release him' limits. For over a half hour it was 160+. I was a loaded machine gun ready to tear the person that hit me into their constituent molecules

you can take a few deep breaths and relax before taking it, and your numbers will be significantly lower

my dad and I were messing with one my mom had and it said I was statistically not living and he was a 19 year old male. I think they tossed it and bought something better

for real. idk when, but in the last few years I somehow mastered calm checkup mode and the nurses always comment now. I think one time it was a bit high so she rechecked and asked if anything else was bothering me

when i did my life insurance re-assessment last year the merc nurse took my blood pressure 3 times, which is apparently standard. mine went down each time but even the first was normal. but knowing what's coming and keeping mentally chill apparently helps
